The French press is one of the most classic and simple methods for preparing coffee, and is characterized by highlighting the body and texture of the drink.
MAIN FEATURES
- Total immersion extraction: the coffee remains in direct contact with the water throughout the entire infusion.
- Metal filter: allows oils and fine particles to pass into the beverage, resulting in a denser, fuller-bodied coffee.
-
Flavor: highlights intense, earthy, chocolatey or full-bodied notes, rather than bright acidity.
ADVANTAGES
Simple and inexpensive method. Highlights body and coffee texture. No paper filters needed.
DISADVANTAGES
It may leave sediment in the cup. Less shine and cleanliness compared to filtered methods like the V60 or Chemex.
The French press is ideal for those who enjoy a strong, full-bodied coffee with a velvety feel , rather than a light and clear one.
